News Outlets That I Use

          One of the most trusted sources of news that I use is the Washington Post. Even though the Washington Post sometimes leans to the left they still provide accurate information and give me a differing political view. Having a left leaning view is important because it shows me criticisms of things or people that I might not hear about on other right leaning news outlets. The Washington Post provides accurate information on world events and gives a left leaning political view. https://www.washingtonpost.com/

          Another one of the sources that I use for news is The New York Times. The New York Times is one of the most trusted newspapers in America, and I follow them on the news app on my Iphone to try and keep up to date with what is happening in the world. The New York Times may sometimes lean toward the left, but they still provide incredibly accurate information the majority of the time. https://www.nytimes.com/

          One of the news sources that I use for information on the economy and stock markets is The Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal provides incredibly accurate information on the stock market and has interesting articles with opinions on the economy that I enjoy reading. I would recommend this news source to anyone trying to learn about the economy or just business in general. https://www.wsj.com/

          Another new source that I use frequently even if they do tend to lean to the right on most issues is Fox News. Having a right perspective during election time is important to me because they tend to lean towards keeping things like freedom of speech untouched as well as the right to bear arms. I use this news source to give me a different political perspective most of the time. They also have lots of information on everything from the disasters that are happening on the west coast to the new border policies. https://www.foxnews.com/ 

          Another really frequent new source that I use is Associated Press News. I use Associated Press because of the wide variety of stories that can be found on their website. From election news to global events, the information that this news source provides is accurate and encompasses a large number of topics. https://apnews.com/
